Here's looking at the hits and flops of the week.

Last week's release Ek Villain is on its way to become a big hit, thanks to its bumper opening collections. The film should become profitable within the first four-five days of release.

Humshakals remains poor while Holiday is standing strong in the absence of solid opposition.
